i run a small business in washington. there is no possible way that i could make a contract to build a house with somebody on the order that we are making our legislation in washington. senator reid comes out and i will let you and call it a health care bill:1900 pages, 2000 pages. and he himself says he cannot read it, because he could not understand it even if he read it. and places like c-span do not put -- pick up on that, that tells me something is structurally incorrect in the whole process. i am of average intelligence, and there is no possible way i could read a 2000 page bill and begin to comprehend it in any way shape or form. as far as i'm concerned, anything before congress that is more than an easily readable bill should just be kicked out right now it done away with -- and done away with. the people who voted for it should have to stand up with me and at the american people, and look us in the eye and say yes, i have read and understand the bill currently before congress.
